Davis Fox will enter his second season as a member of the UNC Asheville women's soccer coaching staff in the fall of 2020. Fox officially joined the Bulldogs on July 24, 2019.

"It became clear in the search that Davis is a great young coach who will impact this program tactically and technically," said UNC Asheville Head Coach Clifton Bush. "However, the most important thing we discovered is that Davis is a wonderful value fit for our club and community. His desire to foster relationships and help develop the complete student-athlete will help us create the culture UNC Asheville women's soccer. We are so glad to welcome Davis and his family to the Bulldogs."

Fox arrives in Asheville following a stint with the University of Rhode Island women's soccer program.

As a volunteer coach at URI, Fox aided the Rams in their transition to a new staff and style of play. During his time in Rhode Island, Fox served as a director for the New England Futbol Club's Southeast region, where he was in charge of youth development and the Junior Academy.

"I am extremely grateful to Coach Bush for the opportunity to help create a high-performance soccer environment at UNC Asheville," Fox says. "I am excited to become a part of the town and the team here in Asheville, and I look forward to growing the game within this community."

Before his time in Rhode Island, Fox served as the first assistant of a Flagler College women's soccer program, which reached a program-high No. 5 United Soccer Coaches national ranking. In his first season at Flagler, the team set a program record for wins and appeared in its first NCAA tournament, advancing to the second round.

In his tenure at Flagler, Fox coached five Peach Belt all-conference award winners. Also, Fio Fustagno earned All-Region Second Team honors, and Charlene Nowotny was chosen as the Saints' first NCAA All-American, making the first team.

Before coaching collegiate soccer, Fox served as the assistant strength and conditioning coach at Flagler and coached club soccer in his home state of Indiana with Delaware County FC. In his time at DCFC, he developed players of all ages, sat on the board of directors, and held the Assistant Director of Coaching position.

Fox will be joined in Asheville by his wife of four years, Rye. He completed a B.S. in exercise science at Ball State University and earned his Master of Arts in Sport Coaching through the University of Denver.

Fox maintains his USSF D License and his United Soccer Coaches National Diploma as well as being a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through NSCA.
